I would have given more stars if I could only understand what was going on. Very interesting movie but very hard to follow.

I watched this film almost a year ago, rated it highly but did not comment. I have thought about this movie many times, replaying scenes in my mind. I am still totally intrigued by the whole story and the wonderful job the director and the actors did. Sarah Snook, actress from Australia, is utterly fantastic. I managed to find a few more films/minis she was in, and, she is no fluke. I'm an old Heinlein fan so this is a treat to me for that reason as well.

Not your regular Hollywood fluff, and not to be watched with friends who like to talk while the movie's playing.
In this time travel themed movie, pay close attention to the births and deaths of the 2 main characters.
If I go for a second viewing on this one, I think I might take notes!
It is nice to come across the occasional movie that requires some intellect to get the most out of it, however. :-)

This movie is a high concept sci fi film about self congratulatory virgin birth.

I like Ethan Hawke as an actor. I think he’s believable and plays off beat films. I’m leery when it’s “directed, written, starring, produced by…..but this was based on Robert Heinlein’s short story, so Michael Spiergig and Peter Spierig writing and directing it turned out ok, because they just adapted it. I liked it. Got lost in the middle, confused towards the end, and then it vaguely makes sense. Not sure if it’s a thriller or a mystery. Thought provoking.

This was an interesting idea and for the first hour was masterfully played out. For me though, as most problems with time-travel films, there are continuity problems that become complicated, if not impossible. I got lost near the end with the implausible aspects of time-travel implications, or lack of them.
Some aspects of the repeating story of 2012 film, Looper, and the 1981 The Terminator, are used here, but as this was based upon a 1961 story by Robert A Heinlein, this was obviously an earlier story.
Great performances by Ethan Hawke (various quality films) and Sarah Snook (most recently, the 2018 Winchester and 2017 The Glass Castle)

Directed by Michael and Peter Spierig in 2014 based on the short story "All You Zombies" by Robert A. Heinlein, this Australian SF thriller depicts an entrancingly strange time-travel saga while you remain puzzled whenever twists and turns keep multiplying well beyond the point of reaching your understanding.
Superb are the performances of the major actors.
Quite interesting is the idea of transgender or intersex in the main character.
Although it seems complicated and sophisticated, it turns out to be a fascinatingly and intriguingly entertaining piece you would love to the hilt.

Interesting concept and very well directed with a great performance by Ethan Hawke. Only complaint is that it is a bit predictable where they're bringing the story at times and it tends to drag on a bit more than needed.

Really nicely done - great acting and special effects (it's worth watching the behind the scenes stuff to get an idea of how much work went into the makeup, FX, and the like). Don't think too hard about the plot, though! If you're looking for a great companion piece to this movie, check out Primer (but be prepared to rewatch or read up on that one for how everything works).
